I want the sane people on here to try and figure out how to keep the entire opening list of posts on here, the first thing a new vistor sees, to Not be highjacked by @1patriot..
Is there some way to put a disclaimer on the front page disavowing this ignorant motormouth?
I remember when i first came here with high hopes (and was not disppointed!) If i saw his drivel dominating everything i would had left and never returned.
He is turning this place into a Slum, or at least making it look like one.

Keep makin' me mental pix like that and I'm gonna lose weight!!!!!!
Can a posting such as this one effectively become a petition to the Admin to remove a profile? Then we all say "Amen" to the post. Seems a bit subjective because others could do a similar thing to anyone of us. There is a Report option next to the Block option.

"Report" hasn't worked At All since before the pandemic...nobody's there.......
Scum is infiltrating every social media site. There are even scum bots infiltrating dating sites with fake accounts that only want to sell religion.

I spent a few weeks arguing with him, insulting him, proving him to be an idiot, a Neo-Nazi, a moron, accusing him as a theist, which he never denied. I even took to denigrating his city Calgary. When he started clogging my feed, I just decided I'd save myself the trouble and block him.

I’ve never engaged with him…but it seems he’s intent on provoking me, so I may just have to do what you and others have done and block him too.
I agree sadly with all the replies, even @puffs.
Does nobody have an 11-year old niece or nephew that could hack the site???????
( she says plaintively...)

Is there such a thing as reporting someone for shitposting?

Nobody to report them to…
Admin went awol sometime around the middle of 2020!
I would put in my 2 cents worth, but there may be some debate here whether I am sane 
.
I am guilty of postal diarrhea at times, and try not to. But I think all of us have also been guilty at times. Hopefully it's just a phase on his journey on this site.
I know I annoy some with my posts, some posts annoy me too. I think there is a solution if the Admin god of agnostics will heed my call.....................
It's good to have the general type topic board, where you see all, even groups you don't belong to. It is also good to be able to form separate interest groups and block agitators from them (some group moderators tend to power trip though)
Anyway, my solution would be to develop a blocking option for the general topic posting board, so you will only see your group posts. I would include an easy way to also look at all postings, unblock, to initiate whenever people want to have a gander at all for a bit.
Was "Admin" ever real or just passed down tales from members past?

I don't think it's fair to put you in the same category as this patriot nit wit. I don't go along with that. Some posters here are 'characters' and stirrers, but this patriot guy is a right wing troll, and he's offensive.
It is with a very heavy heart that I even try to deal with members like @1patriot @puff and others they are not the community that I envisioned joining. They are though the community that exists, I hope that they come to their senses and sensibilities. I know that is not going to happen. IO hope that if we call the assholes out, shame them, fuck them until they are sensless, and don't give them one fucking breath of fresh air

You forgot @FrayedBear.
This used to be a very thought provoking site where you could engage in serious discussion with others on a range of topics, and at the end could politely agree to differ if there was no meeting of minds. Perhaps Agnostics is just reflecting the polarisation of society in the outside world in general…both in politics and opinions & attitudes. There no longer seems to be any middle ground, no nuance or shades of opinion, people are either with you or against you…those against you and your views can be vilified and called the vilest of names, politicians in particular are now either the devil or some godlike messiah!
@Marionville you guys started the name calling climate change is not conspiracy theory they are lying to you, think you can your going to come to a consensus use fucking google to get to you end result which will always show you the lie....try finding the the science that have done the peer review to show you peer reviewed facts.
oh your mental illness is full of hate.....
oh your mental illness is full of hate.....you should ask a doctor what's right for you!

Spot on, ma'am!
He’s not the only one either…he’s got competition from another member from a completely different time zone on the other side of the world. When one is asleep and giving us a rest, the other is awake and posting away, keeping up the barrage of bullshit!

I think he may be the only member I blocked, only for a short while in the hopes he may get bored and go away, Obviously not.
@Fernapple Yes…I thought without any oxygen and a chance of riposte he’d just get bored and stop posting. The other one I mentioned makes posts to play Devils Advocate and to counter the mainstream narrative, or so he says, but he sources his material from very suspect publications such as the Hindustani Times…and I think he just likes to play the contrarian and I’ve no idea what his real beliefs are. I like to hear opposing views but there is no intent with either of these two to engage in serious discussion or to listen and perhaps consider a different viewpoint. Both appear to post merely in order to shock and annoy the rest of us, and in that at least one of them seems to have succeeded.
@Marionville No chance their care homes would limit their internet use ?
@Fernapple It’s anybody’s guess where they actually reside as they don’t seem to live in the same world as the rest of us!
@Marionville Do they realize there's a reason the "mainstream narrative" is the mainstream?
...probably not.....
@Paul4747 I think they see themselves as heroes standing against the mainstream!
@Marionville Well I'm heroically standing up for real newsgathering, research, and reporting. Unfortunately I got tired of him and blocked 1pat weeks ago, it was clear he wasn't interested in hearing anything but his own dubious sources.
@Marionville Many posts appear to be to shock and annoy or even mislead us. I find others that try to lead me into a ridiculous argument.
@DenoPenno Best to sidestep them then…
@Marionville Are you talking about a Russian Agent from Down Under? He's a misguided socialist who blames the UK and NATO for the ills of the world but he positively hates the United States and hates most Americans in general.
@barjoe Sad and deluded…and too much time on his hands like the Canuck!
@Marionville He's a different breed. Bear calls me by my first name and even mentions me in posts to get a rise out of me. He loves Putin and he hates Zalensky, even to the point of being antisemitic. I think he actually is pretty old and lives in a senior facility. I put up with him for some reason.
@barjoe I’m talking about a different guy…I blocked FB a long time ago for being a completely misogynist asshole…that was before the Ukraine war even started.
Well, if admin was doing his job, this poster would be marked as a troll and dealt with. But admin is absent, indifferent, or even maybe approves of this right wing drivel. But your question is a good one.

We know there hasn’t been any real oversight of the site for a very long time now, so apart from blocking posters who irritate and annoy us, there seems no other way to stop them. It means although we can’t see their posts they’re still there for anyone joining the site to see and as Anne says…could be putting off any new members from joining if they read such a stream of alt right invective.
As an atheist I need to see evidence of an admin. He did send me a T-shirt a few years back, but he may not longer be with us.
Enjoy being online again!
